[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 415586, member: 1550"] he gets frustrated and beats his fists against the wall and cries. Jumper, age 14 1/2, came home from watching the ninth grad boys practicing baseball today and she was livid. The baseball coach assistant was laughing at her friend, who has autistic spectrum disorder, because he got frustrated and started banging his fists against the gym walls. This is a beautiful young man who is brilliant and has come so far from his early days. Jumper has grown up with him and, maybe because her brother has the same diagnosis, she has always been protective of him. A lot of the girls who were watching were horrified as this grown man cracked up laughing as the boy had a meltdown. They are all going to protest to the principle, saying that he should be tossed as the assistant coach for making fun of this boy. Jumper said, "I with we weren't on spring break. I want to talk to him NOW." She was almost in tears. I know the man who did it. He is lucky enough to have three boys who don't have disabilities. I can't believe he was LAUGHING at this boy, especially in full view of everybody, including the boy's teammates and peers and the girls who were watching the practice. I have no words. That poor boy... [/QUOTE]
